Kerry Washington Sizzles In Little More Than A Blue Blazer For
Details
Actress Kerry Washington heats up the February issue of Details
magazine in little more than a blue blazer and high heels.
The Ray star has a big year ahead of her in 2012 - she stars in ABC's new
political drama Scandal and appears in Quentin Tarantino's upcoming Django
Unchained.
Kerry is quickly moving on from her past roles - often cast as
just the "wife of" major characters and is ready to take on deeper, more
challenging roles.
"I'm really fascinated with how people become who they are," she
says.
She still gets plenty of recognition on the street though. When asked
what films most people recognize her from she likes to play games.
"I guess what they're going to say they know me from." [If it's a teenage
guy?] "You're the blind girl from Fantastic Four!" [A European?] "It's always
The Last King of Scotland." [A lesbian?] "She Hate Me" [The one performance
everyone recognizes her for is the long-suffering wife in Ray.] "That's the wild
card in Uno."

Well did she, or didn’t she? Beyonce’s First
post baby interview real, or not?
Last week UK Publication "UK STAR" Magazine claims to have Beyonce's first
post-baby interview, and I said it wouldn't be the first time a publication
staged a fake interview with a celeb. And now there are reports from Beyonce's
camp that the interview was indeed fake.
According to Mama Tina, the
interview reported by "UK Star" about Beyonce and Blue Ivy was fake.
Ms. Knowles told "Access Hollywood" that the article was, “Completely made up.” Beyonce's rep also told media
yesterday there was no truth to the interview.
But it doesn't end there, because the UK Star editor is standing by their
“world exclusive first interview” saying,
“It is not
made up or fictitious at all. We bought the interview from a reporter in the
U.S. who conducted the interview with Beyonce before the birth. The reporter
then obtained the ‘top-up’ info after the birth, which we believe to have been
signed off by a girl on her LSM [labor service management] team.”
So Mama Tina says it didn't happen. But the editor swears it did. It
wouldn't be the first time a reporter made up an interview. Nor would it be the
first time a celeb back tracked on something they said. So......who do you
believe?

of more than two years, Orlando Gordon, was picked up on Tuesday as part of a
major drug bust, according to the FBI.

Love” Season 2 winner’s husband was cuffed along with 14 other suspects in a
bust that is being called “one of the biggest cocaine and marijuana drug rings
outside of Detroit.”
Sister to Sister, reports the couple’s Franklin, Michigan, home was raided
by the feds and several kilos of marijuana, grams of crack cocaine, multiple
firearms and a bundle of cash was discovered to the tune of more than
$500k.
The FBI’s indictment alleges that the drug ring started back in 2008 and
involved several agencies, including the IRS, Drug Enforcement Administration
and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
ATF Special
Agent in Charge David McCain said:
Narcotics trafficking along with violent
firearm activity destroys the families and neighborhoods in our communities. ATF
along with its state, local, and federal partners will continue to aggressively
pursue those violent individuals and organizations that cripple our communities
with crime.
Some of the defendants are charged with being felons illegally possessing
firearms. The narcotics trafficking conspiracy carries possible sentences of 10
years to life in prison and a $10 million fine, and the felon-in-possession
charges carry possible sentences of up to 10 years of prison.
Sister to Sister is reporting that they spoke to Deelishis directly and she
insists that the reports are untrue.

Lil Wayne Reportedly Engages In Altercation With
NFL Star Dez Bryant
Weezy and the Dallas Cowboys allegedly scuffled this past weekend.
Lil
Wayne and NFL star Dez Bryant reportedly engaged in an altercation on Sunday at
Fountainebleau’s Club LIV in Miami, Florida.
According to Miami New Times, the fight occurred outside of the club over
someone mocking the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver about his “subpar season and a
mounting personal debt crisis.” Miami Beach Police have no record of Bryant
being detained, but say that there was “a bit of a melee outside LIV that night
with a drunk patron striking a security guard.” Bryant’s name is not mentioned
in the paperwork.
But according to a Herald reporter, Lil Wayne and his entourage were
involved in the scuffle. The story is yet to be confirmed, but several sources
say that the fight occurred between the two parties.
BLACK WOMEN GO MISSING TOO! A NEW CAMPAIGN
OUT TO HELP FIND THEM!
It ain’t all Natalie Halloway, and Lacey Petersen A renewed campaign to
highlight hundreds of missing African-American women has been launched amid
ongoing criticism that less attention is given to their cases by authorities and
the media.
According to the National Crime Information Center, nearly 40 per cent of
those who have disappeared, often in suspicious circumstances, are black.
However critics allege that public attention mainly focuses on white women who
have vanished.
According to the Black And Missing Foundation, most women
disappear in the states of New York, Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland and
Florida.
A total of 273,985 minorities were reported missing in the United
States (out of 692,944 for all races) as of December 2010.
The foundation has teamed up with a TV network to make a series, Find Our
Missing, telling the stories behind the women's disappearances.
The Black And Missing Foundation said there are a number of reasons as to
why the cases of missing black women are largely forgotten.
Firstly, the
organisation points out that there is often a lack of diversity in newsrooms
meaning the African-American community is not properly reflected in
coverage.
Another key reason is that missing persons from a lower economic
status are often associated with some sort of criminal activity.
Behind the
hundreds of cases are painful details sketched out by families, left wondering
what has become of their loved ones. Many women have been missing for decades.
In two incidents at the end of last year, a chilling connection was made
between two missing women - 500 miles apart - discovered in part because of the
attention charities brought to their cases.
Phoenix Coldon, 23, of St Louis,
Missouri, went missing on December 18 while Stacey English, 36, vanished in
Atlanta, Georgia on Christmas Day 2011.
The cars of both women were abandoned with the engine running and the keys
in the ignition.
In both cases the cars were impounded, a fact that police in
both cities did not realize until several days into the investigations.
Miss
Coldon's mother Goldia Coldon said at the time that the fact both women were
African-American had not gone unnoticed.
A separate non-profit group, Black
And Missing But Not Forgotten had also picked up on the cases.
There were
other heartbreaking cases where years have passed without any clues to where the
women have gone, leaving anguished families with little hope of closure.
ARNIKA MILLER
Arnika Miller, now aged 33, disappeared on August 21, 2010 from Topeka,
Kansas. Before she went missing, it is alleged that Miss Miller told a co-worker
that her boyfriend and his friends had assaulted her and stolen her
identification and money and that she was afraid of them. She had duel
citizenship with Canada. Her family are deeply concerned for her safety as she
is an insulin-dependent diabetic and she may have had a broken leg. Her last
sighting was unknown.
ASIA NICOLE MARTIN
Asia Nicole Martin, now 26, was last seen on May 27, 2005 in Hattiesburg,
Mississippi. She told her roommate that she was going for a walk at 8.40pm and
never came home. The student bought a bus ticket to visit her mother in Denver
but never boarded it. Her roommate said that she was acting normally when she
left, but her family are concerned that something may have happened to her as it
was unusual for her not to contact them and she has an unspecified medical
condition.
TILAWNA DENISE CHEATHAM
Tilawna Cheatham, now 31, disappeared on August 11, 1989 when she was nine
years old in Aiken, South Carolina. Her photo has been age progressed to show
what she would look like, aged 27. The girl was last seen after she argued with
her mother, took spare change from a jar and left home. Two neighbours spotted
the girl at 5.30pm at a convenience store a few blocks from her house.
LATORIA RENAE MCCLARIN
Latoria
Renae McClarin, 27, went missing on November 1 from Goldsboro, North Carolina.
She left her house with a man, identified as Ray, and told her family she would
be right back. Ray is believed to be an acquaintance from the city of Wilson in
the state but Miss McClarin's family don't know anything else about him. She
does not have medication that she needs with her.
ASHANI KARIN CREIGHTON
Ashani Karin Creighton, who would now be 19, was last seen by her mother in
Orlando, Florida after being initially abducted by her grandparents, Ernest S.
Jackson and Kaia Jackson in 1998.
It is time for all people - regardless of race - to be treated equally in
their times of greatest need.
Natalie Wilson, co-founder of the Black And
Missing Foundation.
A total of 273,985 minorities were reported missing in the United States,
according to the FBI in 2010 - this is the percentage breakdown based on
race
The grandparents were taken into custody in 2000. Miss Creighton is feared
dead but what happened to the teenager is still unknown.
In the case of
Sharon Davis, now 61, who has been missing for eleven years, she was last seen
at 7am on June 13 after being dropped off by her daughter in a Dallas parking
lot.
She had said she was going home to change her clothes for a meeting but her
van was later found abandoned.
The vehicle had a broken window and was wiped clean of fingerprints.
Her two children alleged that Ms Davis's husband may know more about her
disappearance as she had filed for divorce two days before she was last
seen.
Natalie Wilson, co-founder of the Black And Missing Foundation, told
ABC: 'When we hear the term ''missing persons'', most people conjure up images
of Chandra Levy, Caylee Anthony or Natalee Holloway.
'As a result, the public
is misled in believing that victims of abductions and kidnappings are [all]
blonde, blue-eyed and female.'
Still out there? Shandell McLeod (l), 35,
was last seen on October 1 in Lithonia, Georgia - her family fear her life is in
danger. Sharon Davis vanished in 2001 after her van was found abandoned in a
Dallas parking lot
In danger: Sharnecia Monique Frazier (l) has been missing since 2005 and
would now be 22 - she was last seen in Montgomery, Alabama. Sheila Hughes was
nine months pregnant when she vanished in Aliceville, Alabama in 2000
Ms
Wilson added: 'It is time for all people - regardless of race - to be treated
equally in their times of greatest need.'
The Black and Missing Foundation
was set up by a former law enforcement officer and public relations experts to
support families and raise awareness of those who have disappeared. It also
offers tips on personal safety.
A new series, Find Our Missing, begins tonight on the TV One network.

you recognize any of these women or would like to report someone missing, please

Proof That Kim Kardashian’s Reality Show Is
Fake! Scene With Kris Jenner Was Staged
They have been dubbed the ‘Fakest Family In America‘ and now we have proof
that not only are the Kardashians fake but their reality shows are also phony
and staged!
While a new episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York aired last Sunday,
Kim Kardashian’s husband of 72 days, Kris Humphries, made the following cryptic
tweet — “I can’t wait for the truth to come out!
People will be surprised or maybe they won’t. #FCC.” This had many
wondering what Kris could have been referring to and folks, I believe we have
cracked the code.
The photos you’re seeing above of Kim and pimpmomager Kris Jenner were
taken on December 6, 2011. The photo agency which snapped the pics stated Kim
and Kris were leaving a studio in Los Angeles.
Does Kim outfit look familiar?
It should because Kim is sporting the same exact outfit, same hairstyle and same
makeup as she did in a scene that aired on KKTNY last Sunday which according to
E! was filmed in Dubai… in October… weeks before Kim pulled the plug on her
marriage.
In the scene, Kim tries to garner sympathy appear remorseful as she
tells her mom she is having marital issues with hubby Kris. There’s only one
problem folks: Kim filed for divorce on October 31 and it appears that “Dubai”
scene was actually taped in Los Angeles on Dec. 6. Still having doubts? Well,
feel free to check out the outfit Kris’ assistant is carrying behind her. Ding
ding ding! It’s the SAME “Dubai” outfit plus Kris is still wearing the same
earrings.
Wowzers. So this proves the Kardashians’ shows are as phony as the
Kardashians. Furthermore, Kim and Kris actually filmed this scene last month to
not only try to fool their audience, but to also try to make Kim a victim.
Unfortunately for Kris Humphries, he didn’t get a chance to go back and film
phony scenes to help his image.
Even before we were able to put two and two together with these images many
were already doubting the authenticity of this “heart to heart” scene between
Kim and mom Kris.
For starters, TheImproper blog via Perez Hilton points out
that in the scene:
- Windows are totally blacked out
- No visible lights
and the scene has low lighting
- Scene seems contrived, and could have been
staged to gain sympathy for Kim
It gets even better as two body language experts for the HollywoodLife blog
stated the scene was fake based on the body language and the reaction of Kris to
Kim’s bombshell about her marital issues.
“[This seems] completely phony, staged and emotionless for someone who is
not happy about a marriage,” Dr. Lillian Glass told the HollywoodLife. “Plus,
Kris’ dialogue is just that like of a bad actress giving bad dialogue. There is
too much pause time between the answers and her reaction shows no surprise and a
matter of factness monotone — much like Kim’s indicative
non-genuineness.”
Also, raising a red flag was Kris’ reaction to her
daughter’s bad news. “She is smiling while her daughter is sharing this terrible
news,” says body language expert Patti Wood. “This is not normal. She isn’t
leaning toward Kim to show her support or trying to comfort her in any
way.”
Still need more proof that the above photo of Kim was taken in December?
UsWeekly did a story about Kim and that photo of her on December 7. The story
also states Kim was snapped leaving a studio in LA on Dec. 6.
As for Kris Humphries, his family and friends have always insisted the show
was fake and scripted including scenes which demonstrate Kris being a jerk or
villain. “Little did Kris know that he was being set up,” his father, William
Humphries, told Life & Style in November. “Kris got used — 100 percent
used.”
To close out this story, SHAME on the Kardashians and SHAME on E!. It’s one
thing to make a reality show and kind of create scenarios to make it more
interesting, but to actually go back and act out FAKE scenes months after the
fact is a new low. No word yet on how the Kardashians and E! will try to defend
this.

Nas Baby Mama is up to her old shady tricks
again!
The last time we heard from Nas' Baby mama Carmen she had written a book
exposing her tryst with Jay Z that started the war between him and Nas [click
here if you missed that]. Well, these days, aside from preparing her new book,
'Mira's Reflection', Carmen spends her time being messy on Twitter...
There's this fake open letter going around purported to have been written
by Jay Z claiming he would no longer be using the word bitch following the birth
of his daughter. Carmen wants to know why Jay doesn't care as much for his son.
Then there was the time Carmen blasted Kandi for dating her friend's man.
And this little tid bit about Swizz Beatz being married with he hooked up
with Mashonda!
Chick is a mess!
Is Adele dating a married Man?
Adele has denied reports that her new boyfriend Simon Konecki is a married
man.
The singer, 23, wrote on her website: 'This is the first and last time I
will comment on the details of my relationship with Simon.'
'Contrary to
reports and headlines in the press, Simon is divorced and has been for 4
years.'
'Take care and see you all in February xx,' she
added - in reference to her forthcoming appearance at the Brit Awards next
month.
Previously,
it had been reported that bearded Old Etonian entrepreneur Konecki, 36, was
still in the process of divorcing fashion stylist Clary Fisher, who he wed in
the summer of 2004.
The couple have a five-year-old daughter.
Adele is devoted to Simon,
known as ‘Swampy’ to his friends, who is 14 years her senior.
When he
married Clary, a London College of Fashion graduate, he was a director of the
EBS group, an investment holding company.
The pair moved in glamorous social
circles, counting multi-millionaire property figure Anton Bilton, Rolling Stone
Ronnie Wood’s son Jamie and Lucas White, the party-loving playboy son of the
late industrialist Lord ‘Gordy’ White, among their pals.
But after Konecki
left the City, to set up an eco-company with White, his marriage failed.
Despite moving to his home town of Brighton with Clary
and the birth of their daughter, the couple grew apart.
Grammy award-winning
Adele, who is recovering from surgery on her vocal cords, was introduced to her
new beau by singer Ed Sheeran a couple of months ago.
Their backgrounds could
not be more different. While Adele was raised by her single mother and went to
an inner-city primary in Tottenham, Konecki was sent to Eton, where
contemporaries included Tom Parker Bowles and Bear Grylls.
His parents live
in a £1million waterfront house in Florida, and his sisters went to posh
Roedean.
When approached, Clary, who lives in Sussex and still uses her married
name, refused to comment.
Keyshia & Daniel and Evelyn and Chad are
a part of EBONY Magazine's "Hot Couples 2012
In the latest issue of EBONY Magazine, Evelyn Lozada & Chad Ochocinco
(who plan to marry this summer) are profiled alongside Keyshia Cole and Daniel
"Boobie" Gibson, Eric Benet and his wife Manuela Testolini, T.I. and Tiny,
Roland Martin and Jacquie Hood Martin and "The View" co-host Sherri Shepherd and
husband Lamar Sally in the "Hot Couples 2012" article.
In the piece, the couples share their love stories and how they make love
work in their relationship.
Here are highlights from Keyshia and Daniel's
profile and Chad and Evelyn's profile:
Keyshia on why she decided to give Daniel a
chance-
"I was kind of through with relationships. I
didn't feel like guys were mature enough. What made me gravitate toward Gib was
his faith in God, more than anything. He seemed like a loving person. He talked
a lot about his grandmother, who had passed away, and the things she instilled
in him."
Daniel on Keyshia-
"She has morals
and a big heart. Once we met things happened fast. I felt like she was perfect
for me. I proposed to her on New Year's Eve, right when the ball dropped. I got
down on one knee at the same time."
Why Chad knew Evelyn was The One
"She was up-front and honest. I never had that before. I always
[say to] people in early conversations, 'Tell me about yourself.' They always
skip a story and try to come off squeaky clean. They tell me wha they think I
want to hear. she didn't send her representative. She told me what she went
through. She gave me A,B,C. She said, 'Take it or leave
it.'"
How
do they make love work (Evelyn)?
"You must be open.
That's something I had never done before. I didn't want anyone telling him
something about me. He doesn't judge me on my past or
anything."

February 2012 issue on newsstands now.
And finally from “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING
AT WALMART” FILES
“No Butts About It”
At first I was like “Why is that butt winking at me?” Then I quickly
realized that it was not winking, but rather cringing from the smell.
